And still, I couldn't avoid to compare and contrast it with Brave New World, which I found more capable of predicting OUR world...

ashamed to admit I have not read neither of the two.... so which one do I pick first?

Both really are excellent, but of the two I'd read 1984 first and then Brave New World (and follow both up with Animal Farm)…

I am so attracted by all said and written about 1984, that indeed I will give that priority. Sorry AbbyNormal , but that wins for now :)
